Donald Trump tweeted a blatantly anti-Semitic image Saturday morning, causing an immediate backlash online and further confirming the Republican nominee is willing to sink to depths well beyond usual, acceptable bounds of politics.
The tweet, posted at roughly 8:30 a.m., featured a picture of Hillary Clinton pasted over a backdrop of $100 bills with a six-pointed star — the Jewish Star of David — next to her face.
“Most Corrupt Candidate Ever!” the star read.
This is not a dog whistle. It’s not subtle. It is anti-Semitic imagery aimed at a candidate who isn’t even Jewish.

When I clicked on this I thought it was going to be a blue made of 2 overlapping triangles on a white background...
This red star could pass for a Pennsylvania Dutch freeman’s symbol barn sign ... when a man became a freeman in old Europe he was entitled to put a sign with a six-pointed star a/k/a “sechszackiger stern” a/k/a “sechszackiger Zeichen” on his workplace. The tradition was carried over here by German settlers until some tour guide in the 60s mistook “sechs” pronounced “zex” for the word “hex” and started telling tourists they were “hex signs” and were thought to have magic properties of protection over any building on which they were hung.
I’d say the country needs all the protection it can get from the Red Rider witch so a red hex sign might be appropriate.
Oh, no! Now he’s anti-circle!
Pretty stunning isn’t? Trump has got to love it. lol.
Yahoo and NYDailyNews removed this as a 'news story'. Not on their pages anymore.
Its a holiday weekend. so not a big deal. Since the Trump campaign replaced that pic, they saw it a problem. Hopefully another lesson on what they're up against.
At first I thought it was another big stumble on the Trump campaign. However, I think it was brilliant. Here is why:
People are going to question, why was the Red hexagon being used? It is a symbol of Israel. Trump couldn't make that mistake. Maybe there is a hidden message here. What does the hexagon symbol really represent?
The six pointed star is the star of the god Saturn, or Chronos, to whom human sacrifice was made, and it is that same star the Egyptians used for the idol Remphan. It may well be the Seal of Solomon. Solomon took this symbol upon himself when he went into idolatry, and it became known as the `Seal of Solomon' in Arabic magic and witchcraft. Saturn in astrology is the ruler of Capricorn Saturn is associated with restriction and limitation. Cronus was one of the Titans, and the father of Zeus. Cronus ate his children to prevent himself from being dethroned as the King of the Gods.
Hitler used the hexigram as a badge of shame, forcing all Jews to wear it during the Nazi regime.
The star was condemned by the God of Israel in Amos 5:26
The Hexagram is 666.
The hexagram, or six pointed star, certainly has three sixes. It contains a six, within a six, within a six: 666. (Count the sides of each triangle facing the clockwise direction, the sides facing the counter-clockwise direction, and the third six - the sides of the inner hexagon).
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth THE MARK OF HIS NAME. (Revelation 14:11).
Huffington comPost people are retarded.
With apologies to actual retards, who can’t help it.
Whoever put together Trump’s graphic should be fired.
I’ve been around for about 75 years, seen most graphics and text bashing Jews and I find absolutely nothing in this ad objectionable. It takes some real effort to see the graphic and decide it is the Star of David and insulting to Jews.
I see an attention grabbing star with anti Clinton text in it.
Why?
Ha Hah! Is that really the best you can do, Huffpo? What a weak attempt. You are LOSING, Dems.
The star of david and some sherrif’s badges are identical. At least he changed it.
Oh come on. Its a red star. LOL!
TO Sam Levine and Sam Stern,
Go suck rotten eggs.
Honestly, I was reminded of a sheriff’s star and assumed it was a reference to her chronic lawlessness.
But that’s just me...not looking for Jooo snipes in every woodpile.
/FFS
That’s what I thought, too.
Now, if it had been an inverted pentagram, it would have fitted her, more.
:D
Why? Because someone is interpreting a red star as a star of David? I've seen stars like that in all kinds of advertising. I really doubt there was any anti-anything implied except anti-Hillary. In my humble opinion this is much PC ado about nothing.
Yes... fired! Because choosing some other shape (a circle, an oval...) would have delivered Trump's enemies no ammunition.
Caesar's wife must be above suspicion.
Regards,
That’s a sheriff’s badge or a police badge, the kind that will be on the shirt of the officers who come to arrest Miss Universal Corruption of 2016.
I’m Jewish and I approve of my comments above.
PS: Her daughter’s Jewish husband and in-laws come from a line of crooks and anti-semites. Just look up Norton and Ed Mezvinsky’s bios, including jail time, and you’ll know what I mean.
It seems that Bill and Hillary love crooks, crazies, commies, and adultery, as well as being criminals, traitors and megalomaniacs.
Using the capital “H” against her is a fantastic idea.
That is not the Star of David in the Trump ad. Also Trump's daughter and son in law are Jewish so I doubt seriously that Trump is anti Jewish.
The more the despicable lefties grasp at lunatic-fabricated straws to discredit Trump, the more resolute I am to vote for him.
Exactly that’s a huge stretch by people who will spin anything.
